Second chance at happiness I will make everyone who wronged you, pay a price worth your weight in gold
Almera left the trunk with Mira telling her not to waste money on the trunk since it was for a temporary arrangement and to use the one she bought with them. They could return it when it was no longer required as it was currently not being used. It fit the bill as it was a strong trunk used to store expensive cloths at the dressmakers. “Then, I will owe you one more.” Mira giggled in good nature. “Nonsense.” Almera waved as she rode away. Mira and Jack locked the house and rode to Aunt Beth’s on the cart with the trunk as it was still early. No one was home yet…. Only Oden, Aunt Beth and Anne-Marie. “Aunt, we are home.” Jack announced at the door. “Come… come….” Oden opened the door. “Big brother, help me carry something inside.” Jack asked before stepping in. Mira stood by the side giving the men way to carry the trunk inside. “Keep this in Uncle’s room.” Jack instructed as they walked in. They left the trunk in the men’s room and came out. “Aunt, this is the key for the trunk

Jack washed the furs that were soaking for the last 2 days and meticulously cleaned all the fat tissue and any unwanted remnants from the furs before washing them again and soaking them in the reconstituted pickling concoction on Thursday. Martin came over as usual with the long chains. He was surprised not to see Mira as she usually came out to chat with him, but she didn’t this time. “Where’s cousin’s wife?” He asked curiously. “She’s working.” Jack sighed; He complained about how useless he felt. How she tired herself without stopping even to eat. “You are fortunate.” Martin chuckled as he whispered wishfully “Wish I had a wife who cared half as much.” “My wife is best.” Jack put away his wronged expression and became smug again. The next morning, Jack got ready to go to city as usual. “Husband, take this picture to second brother’s smithy” Mira extended the picture of the crown that Almera had given them. “Ask the master how much it would cost us to have it made in a size t
Second chance at happiness Retaliation or coincidence?
“We will thank both you and your master for your kindness.” Jack received the token and handed it to Mira. Samuel took out another token and gave it to Jack as he noted that Jack handed it to Mira. “We….” Jack was about to refuse when Samuel interrupted. “Keep one on your person.” He handed the token to Jack and reminded “It is better to be cautious.” “Thank you.” Both Mira and Jack thanked Samuel. Samuel stood up as his purpose of arrival had been accomplished “Then I will take my leave.” “Wait…let me get you some…...” Mira took two steps into the house when Samuel tried to stop her – “No need to get anything. I was just …..” “You can’t argue with me.” Mira pouted childishly; Samuel sat back helplessly. She turned to walk towards the kitchen but turned back once again “Are there many visitors at your master’s place today?” “No… just a quiet meal.” Samuel shook his head. “Does your master like pheasant meat?” Samuel nodded although he had an amused smile. Mira went to the

On Saturday as Mira predicted, Ursula, Agnes, Matthew and Harry arrived first and then around 10 o’clock the Ward clan with the exception of Joan and Emma arrived but that was later. Currently it was just Mira's folks. “You are being watched.” Harry warned as he sat down. “When did you manage to offend Jane?” Matthew asked before correcting himself as he saw Jack and Mira’s blank face “Dame Killion.” “We haven’t offended her.” Mira shook her head before asking “Why?” “Her men are here as well.” “Oh…” Mira’s lips curled up as she thought of Samuel’s offer with gratitude. “Then it is a friend I take it.” Matthew chuckled seeing his daughter’s silly smile. Mira told her father and the others about their association with Samuel …right up until their last conversation. “She is a good woman.” Harry nodded “You can trust her.” “Um” Mira nodded before asking “Who else?” “Slegh’s men are here too.” “Um”. Mira nodded before curling her lips in disdain “They can try.” “Don’t be so arr

They had come rushing when they heard Mira’s desperate scream. They were given only one job- protect Mira and Jack. Neither wanted to think of the consequences of failing in their duty. They ran to help… what greeted them was three grown men hiding behind bushes, two in trees and one standing frozen. They had gotten here before Mira but decided to watch as they couldn’t make sense of the situation. They couldn’t figure out if the men started fighting and attacked each other or if there was another enemy…. What eventuated…they enjoyed watching… Martin came back with the small boar along with Oden. “What are we doing with this?” Matthew turned to Mira ignoring the surprised faces of everyone other than Harry. “They…” Beth pointed at the men and hid behind John. “Let’s marinate and have a big dinner tomorrow.” Mira smiled greedily as she clasped her hands. “Let’s get Almera and her Marquess over as well.” Mira smiled as she looked at Jack. Although it was a statement, she was asking
Second chance at happiness Preparation
“Cousin’s wife is very generous.” Martin shook his head. He had heard the other apprentices talking about their families. Mira took good care of them even though they were only cousins. She took care of them the same way she looked after her folks. “Ha… ha…. ha….” Jack laughed as he gave the reins to Martin. He knew Martin liked to ride. They rode back quickly. Mira completed another small strip and came out of space. She decided to do some more floral patterns using yellow threads. Jack and Martin returned shortly after she started embroidering the spare robe. It was almost like a celebratory gathering. The men chopped the woods and made the preparation for the fire since they had to start early cooking early in the morning. Ursula got the beets prepared while Agnes made the blood sauce. By the time Mira came out, Beth had all the vegetables ready. Mira added 4 gallons of water, 8 cups pickling salt, 6 oranges and 2 lemons halved along with 2 bulbs garlic in a large pot. She sque
Second chance at happiness I am fulfilling a promise to someone to make up for getting him in trouble.
The next morning, Mira and Jack woke up early. They had lots of things to do before everyone came. Jack milked the cows while Mira took 30 eggs and prepared stuffed eggs; placed them in space. For breakfast, she made some scrambled eggs with the rest of the eggs which was plenty for all the family. She shredded the peasant that was left over from yesterday and made a dry dish that could be eaten with bread. She took out the rosemary and thyme bread she had stocked in space. Jack came in with the pail of milk and handed it to Mira. “Do you want to have breakfast now?” Mira asked as she started the fire to boil the milk. There was no reason for Mira boiling milk…. Everyone just drank it just like that… but she liked the taste of hot milk… so she boiled it! How could she know that it would become a standard practice thousands of years later. “I will wait for everyone.” Jack’s lips curled up as he saw the breakfast preparation his wife had done. “Then, drink a mug of hot milk and let’

“Come… come…” Matthew and Harry invited in unison with a wide grin. “By god, man…” Jane laughed “You two still alive?” “Ha… ha…ha…” Harry laughed and smirked “Did you think you suddenly got the ability to converse with ghosts?” “If I did” Jane hooked her eyebrows “I know there will be other ghosts I want to meet first.” “This is my daughter’s house.” Matthew started politely “It might not…” “Good lord, Matt…. When did you become so long winded?” Jane rolled her eyes as she walked forward like the empress. Samuel chuckled as he followed. Jane and Thomas didn’t need any introductions. Matthew introduced John, Beth, Oden, Martin and Anne-Marie while Harry introduced Agnes, Ursula, Jack and Mira. Thomas introduced Aldrin and Ferran; Almera didn’t need any introductions. Jane introduced Samuel to everyone. Once introductions were out of the way, everyone mingled without reservations. Mira slipped away while everyone was chatting and went to the cellar. She took the items she had prev
